This recipe describes a treatment rather than a thing. Put your own subject in and it is added to the end of the prompt.

Prompt

A quirky character illustration where every shape carries the same heavy uniform black outline, set on one loud flat background colour with no gradient. Clothes and props filled with small repeated patterns, hands and feet drawn deliberately oversized, no shading anywhere beyond the occasional flat shadow shape. Cheerful, slightly awkward proportions, clean flat colour fills. No lettering. Subject: a person in pyjamas rocking in a chair.
